Legal Visa, Fatal Stop | Montpelier News

New court docs reveal explosive claims about the deadly January 2025 traffic stop: defense argues the stop was unjustified from the start, citing evidence that the passenger, Felix Bauckholt, was legally in the U.S. with a valid visa — known by Homeland Security the next day. Officers allegedly questioned the driver and passenger for over 30 minutes before detaining them on smuggling suspicion, despite knowing Bauckholt’s legal status. The defense is demanding preservation of all officers’ electronic devices. Teresa Youngblut, the driver, faces murder charges with the Justice Department seeking the death penalty.
